Spinal cord injury trial testing spinal stimulation and arm training
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether combining spinal cord stimulation with arm and hand exercises can improve strength and function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It may help you regain more control in your daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your injury happened between 6 months and 5 years ago and was caused by trauma.
- You are between 21 and 80 years old.
- Your injury level is between C2 and C8 (neck region).
- You have some grip and pinch strength left in your hands.
- You can sit comfortably for at least 1 hour and have no major health issues like uncontrolled heart problems or severe pain.

This trial tests a treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation on the upper spine to help improve arm and hand function after a recent spinal cord injury. It is for people who are in the hospital and have injury levels between C1 and C8.
This trial tests whether a mild electrical stimulation applied to the skin over your spine can improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury or stroke. It is for people with some preserved movement in their upper body.
This study tests whether combining activity-based therapy (exercises to improve arm and hand function) with a mild electrical stimulation on the skin of your back can help people with chronic neck-level spinal cord injury regain more arm and hand movement.
This trial tests a type of arm and hand exercise training to see if it helps the brain and nerves recover after a recent spinal cord injury in the neck. It may help people who have some movement left in their arms or hands.
This trial studies whether epidural (back-of-spine) stimulation plus guided resistance training can improve strength and function after a traumatic spinal cord injury. It may help people who have an intact nerve pathway below their injury level and can safely use a rehab exoskeleton.
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of the spinal area plus robotic gait training can improve walking function in people with a traumatic spinal cord injury who are not walking independently. It’s meant for people with incomplete injuries where some nerve signals still work, and who can safely use the robotic exoskeleton.
